THUNDER BAY — The coroner’s inquest into the deaths of Don Mamakwa and Roland McKay entered its ninth day of testimony on Tuesday. After focusing on evidence relating to the circumstances of Mamakwa’s death up to this point, it is now turning to testimony relating to the death of McKay.
Paramedics with Superior North EMS and officers with the Thunder Bay Police Service attended the scene. An assessment of McKay was conducted by paramedics and while his vitals were elevated, he said he did not want to go to the hospital. Officers began CPR and an ambulance was called. He was transported to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Earlier testimony revealed he died as a result of hypertensive heart disease.
An assessment was conducted that found McKay’s vitals, such as his heart rate and blood pressure, to be elevated above normal parameters. After police arrived, Philion-Aichinger said McKay made it clear that he did not want to go to the hospital and wanted to go to a friend’s house instead. Philion-Aichinger said at the time she did not believe he needed to go to the emergency department but added if he did request to go, he would have been taken.
“We desperately need a large centre where people can safely detox,” Vescio added. “They are at risk of having a secondary emergency while on offload delay at the hospital. We don’t have an appropriate alcohol substitute for people going through detox.” “I am sure Const. Heyder and myself, if we had known certain things, would have responded differently,” he said, referring to having knowledge that Mamakwa was diabetic.
